Renewable Energy Incentive Program

Thousands of New Jersey homeowners, businesses, and municipalities are incorporating clean, renewable energy into their everyday lives with help from New Jersey's Clean Energy Program. You can take advantage of this program to save energy and lower your utility bills.

By investing in renewable energy, you can help protect the environment, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, and lessen our carbon footprint. Whether it's for your home or your business, New Jersey's Clean Energy Program makes using renewable energy technologies affordable, practical, and just plain smart.

Sustainable biopower projects receive incentives through a competitive solicitation process. Electric storage projects went through competitive solicitation processes, as well and discussions are underway to develop the renewable electric storage program for FY2016. Please note that the wind program is currently on hold.

Note: We are continuing the temporary hold on all commitments in the NJCEP Renewable Energy Incentive Program (REIP) for wind systems. Board Staff commissioned a report conducted by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) investigating three failed wind turbines in New Jersey. See the "Other Documents" section below. The goal is to address program requirements that will:

Ensure that all safeguards to public health and safety have been utilized, and

Protect a consumer if they purchase and install a wind system that subsequently experiences a major failure not covered by warranty.

We thank you and appreciate your patience.

New solar projects are no longer eligibile for REIP incentives, but can register for Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) through the SREC Registration Program (SRP).

Recently the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and the Department of Community Affairs announced they will develop a DVD that local fire departments can use to teach firefighters about safety in fighting fires in or around solar and wind system. Read the Board Order here.
